Good read!

The leadership of the GOP need to have a closed door meeting with this traitor to get his mind glued back together. They need to drag Snowe and Collins in at the same time. I’m sure these RINOs are too busy sucking up to the Fuhrer to take time out of their day.

[ohioWfan]

WE need to get this phony out of our party.......FAST.

He is doing more damage to the conservative cause than any single person I can think of right now.

[DogBarkTree]

The G0P party of RINOS need to get a clue. We hate your traitorous asses as much as we hate the socialists.

[onedoug]

You sc’ers gott’a defeat this clown.

[Paladin2]

SC just re-upped with LITL Graham last year. They screwed the rest of the nation and reinforced the RINO GOP.

[blam]

Graham is a disgusting POS!!

[Breto]

scuse me but the “leaders” are the problem the are no better than Gramnesty

[laotzu]

When all of the GOP are RINOS, the term ceases to have any meaning. They are all simply Republicans.

[faucetman]

The writer has it exactly correct. They all CLAIM conservative values at election time and then go right back to their RINO ways after we send them back to Washington to SCREW us again. ENOUGH I SAY! We can't fix the party unless we get rid of the RINOs. And there are alot of them. We can't keep doing the same old thing (sending RINOs to Washington) and expecting them to vote conservative. They are PHONY conservatives.

Make a pledge today that you will not vote for a RINO or a faux-conservative. Let's take our country back from liberals and RINOs. They are the same species and they are breeding in Washington.

The leaders are all busy searching for their gonads with both hands and a mirror and coming up empty. IMO, they’re spineless, gutless, gonad-less schmucks.

[GeronL]

He can try to co-opt them but he can’t. The TEA Party is not the Republican Party, it doesn’t follow any leaders.

[sickoflibs]

Last week saw “I want to help Obama be a success Mathews MSNBC” defending Grahm on his show. He likes Grahm just like he used to like McCain.

[GeronL]

The leadership of the GOP agrees with them.

[paulycy]

He can try to co-opt them but he can’t. The TEA Party is not the Republican Party, it doesn’t follow any leaders.

D@mn straight.

[ravingnutter]

For his entire career, Graham’s strategy for victory has been the same as his party’s - dangle conservative-sounding rhetoric before easily duped constituents during an election year so that Republicans can be returned to Washington to do as much damage as the Democrats.

Hence, my name for him..."Flimsy" Graham...I can see right through his rhetoric.

[Mr. K]

Lindsay Graha, and all other RINOS who have been bloviating for YEARS need to GO

Anyone who has been around for 20 years IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS!!!!

We can have this level of incompetance from any place

THE NEXT TEA-PARTY MARCH SHOULD BE ON GOP HEADQUARTERS!

AND SOON!!

“Lindsey Graham also made headlines last week by putting on a show of his own, as the South Carolina Senator held court at a town hall meeting, touting his conservative credentials before an angry crowd that wasn’t buying it.” THe Senate and House are filled with liars and thieves, with “D” or “R” after their name (and one with “I”). It is liars like Graham who have known for more than a decade that the debt accumulation was unsustainable. The thirty trillion dollar unfunded liabilities didn’t pop up in Bush’s administration, it took decades to accumultae, following the little sneaky move of dumping all revenues in ‘the general fund’, making IOUs the means to raid the tax collections for FICA and spending them then going in debt each year. Graham is just another ... no, that’s incorrect, since Graham is more pernicious than the typical R or D politician because he lies so openly for both sides of the aisle! A degenerate mind like Graham’s is so easily extorted for leverage ... he cannot conceive of giving up his power, so he sells it for the silence of those who hold his secrets. The Republic cannot survive with such pernicious corruption so completely ignored.

I disagree. We have a national platform and 50 state platforms. These spell out our identity as a party and what it means to be a "Republican". RINOs give lip service to our values and work against us where it counts. They are not simply republicans...
